April 30, 2026 Tennessee PBM Reform Win | PBM Reform
Tennessee lawmakers have passed a major pharmacy reform bill aimed at pharmacy benefit managers, or PBMs, by barring companies from owning both a PBM and a pharmacy. The legislation is widely seen as targeting CVS Health, which owns Caremark and operates pharmacies across the state.

Supporters say the bill is designed to curb vertical integration, restore fair competition, and protect independent pharmacies from reimbursement practices they view as harmful to patient access and community pharmacy survival.

CVS has pushed back hard, warning that the new law could force it to shut down its 134 Tennessee pharmacy locations and trigger a legal challenge. The company argues the measure would reduce access for patients and does not directly address broader PBM issues like pricing or formularies.

This Tennessee fight reflects a larger national battle over PBM reform, pharmacy ownership, market power, and the future of prescription drug access.

April 27, 2026 The Hidden Connection between Gut and Burnout in High Achievers with Ekat | Holistic Pharmacy Podcast
What does it actually mean to be healthy if your labs come back "normal" but you still feel terrible?

For too many high-achieving professionals, that question goes unanswered for years. Today's guest knows that experience firsthand and has built her entire practice around closing that gap.

Ekat is a Nutritional Therapy Practitioner (NTP), Restorative Wellness Practitioner (RWP), and Board-Certified Integrative Nutrition Health Coach. After 16+ years on Wall Street, she experienced firsthand what chronic stress, long hours, and burnout can do to a body, and what conventional medicine often misses when it does.

Through her virtual practice, Healthfully Ekat, she helps busy, high-achieving women uncover the root causes behind persistent digestive issues, hormonal imbalances, and chronic fatigue using functional lab testing, personalized nutrition, and holistic lifestyle strategies.
Her message is as straightforward as it is powerful: you're only going to be as successful as your health allows you to be.

In this episode, we talk about what it really takes to stop guessing and start understanding what your body actually needs, so your energy, gut, and hormones can work for you instead of against you.

In this episode, we cover:
• Why "normal" labs don't always mean optimal health
• The connection between chronic stress, gut health, and hormonal chaos
• How functional lab testing changes the root cause conversation
• The microbes we often ignore but shouldn’t (including parasites!)
• What high-performing professionals consistently get wrong about their health
• Why true success requires your body to keep up with your ambition

April 22, 2026 Confused About Medications in Pregnancy? Why Pharmacists Are the Essential Experts | MaternalRx
“My doctor says it’s safe, but Google says it’s not… what do I do?” It’s the reality so many pregnant and breastfeeding moms face when they’re given conflicting medication advice.
In this episode, consulting pharmacist Dr. Danielle Plummer and clinical pharmacist Dr. Tara Birch pull back the curtain on pregnancy medication confusion and why it happens. As Tara puts it, “Pharmacists need to be utilized more than they are. We are medication specialists.”

The core message is clear: every mom needs a pharmacist as part of her care team. From preconception through the postpartum period, pharmacists bring the medication expertise that is often missing and can prevent confusion, errors, and unnecessary risk. From the overwhelm of choosing a prenatal vitamin to navigating mixed messages from providers and “Dr. Google,” they walk through what’s actually happening behind the scenes and how to make safer, more confident decisions.

You’ll hear why “there is no one-size-fits-all prenatal vitamin,” how postpartum needs can increase during breastfeeding, and why a truly collaborative care team leads to better outcomes for both mom and baby. If you’ve ever second-guessed a medication, felt confused by conflicting advice, or wished you had a clear, trusted voice guiding you, this conversation will change how you approach your care.

What You’ll Learn:
- Why pharmacists are underused in maternal care
- How to handle conflicting medication advice
- How to choose the right prenatal vitamin
- Why postpartum nutrition matters
- The risks of relying on Google or AI for medication decisions
- How collaborative care improves outcomes

Expert Insights:
- Pharmacists in Maternal Care: Pharmacists are medication experts but are often excluded from care teams. Including them improves safety and outcomes.
- Conflicting Advice: Patients often receive mixed guidance from providers. Pharmacists help clarify evidence-based decisions.
- Prenatal Vitamins: Not one-size-fits-all. Needs vary by diet, genetics, and symptoms.
- Postpartum Nutrition: Nutrient needs may increase after delivery, especially during breastfeeding.
- Gaps in Care: Hospital care is collaborative. Outpatient care is fragmented, creating safety risks.
- Preconception Planning: Medication review before pregnancy can prevent first-trimester risks.

April 21, 2026YARAL Pharma Expands Access to Prescription Topical Patches Through Telehealth | Executive Dose
In this episode, we explore YARAL Pharma’s latest move to expand patient access to prescription topical patches through a new collaboration with UpScriptHealth. The partnership brings YARAL’s prescription topical treatments to a direct-to-consumer telehealth platform, giving patients a way to consult with licensed clinicians online and, when appropriate, receive prescriptions through participating pharmacies. The announcement reflects a broader shift in how pharmaceutical manufacturers are using digital health channels to improve convenience, affordability, and access to care.

We also examine what this means for the evolving pharmacy and telehealth landscape. YARAL Pharma said the collaboration supports its focus on continuity of supply, quality, customer service, and broader access to generic medicines, while UpScriptHealth highlighted its long-standing role in direct-to-patient telehealth services and its history of helping patients access care and prescriptions through online channels.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
YARAL Pharma’s prescription topical patches are now available through UpScriptHealth’s telehealth platform. Patients can use the platform to connect with licensed healthcare providers virtually, determine eligibility, and potentially receive a prescription fulfilled through participating pharmacies. YARAL described the collaboration as part of its effort to expand access to affordable generic medicines through digital channels.

The episode also highlights the companies behind the announcement. YARAL Pharma is the U.S. generics subsidiary of IBSA, and UpScriptHealth describes itself as a direct-to-patient telehealth company that has helped facilitate more than two million prescriptions and works with a network of hundreds of physicians.

Key Discussion Points:
YARAL Pharma’s prescription topical patches are now offered through UpScriptHealth’s telehealth platform.
The partnership creates a direct-to-consumer path for online consultation and prescribing, when clinically appropriate.
YARAL says the move strengthens patient convenience and supports access to affordable generic treatment options.
UpScriptHealth brings an established national telehealth network and direct-to-patient infrastructure to the collaboration.
The announcement signals continued momentum in telehealth-enabled prescription access and digital pharmaceutical distribution. This last point is an inference based on the stated goals and structure of the partnership.

April 17, 2026 Clearway Health, John Nosta, Perigon 360, and Psychedelics in Practice | TWIRx
TWIRx News:
The FDA plans to remove 12 peptide bulk drug substances from Category 2 of the Section 503A compounding list after their nominations were withdrawn. For compounders, the key issue is that this change does not automatically make compounding these substances permissible, leaving pharmacies exposed to ongoing regulatory uncertainty until the FDA makes further decisions.

A nationwide Class II recall has been issued for Xanax XR 3 mg tablets in 60-count bottles, lot 8177156, after the product failed dissolution testing. Pharmacists should immediately locate and quarantine affected stock while reminding patients not to stop benzodiazepine therapy suddenly without direction from a healthcare provider.

Community pharmacies are taking on a larger role in wound care by serving as an accessible first point of contact for patients with minor injuries. Pharmacists can help assess wounds, recommend appropriate over-the-counter treatment, watch for warning signs of complications, and refer patients for higher-level care when needed.

Special sponsor interview with Allison Arant with Clearway Health.
Featured interview with the World's Leading Innovation Theorist John Nosta
Guests & sponsors of today's TWIRx, Perigon 360 Pharmacy with Chris Antypas PharmD and ed Mills
